Last I had heard, many ppl in Christchurch were still living in houses that had been made and declared unlivable since the big quake a few years ago.   Supposedly property values in the area have plummeted.  I don't know whether they've bounced back since, or not.

 

Before the quake I had this joke about a fictitious quake in NZ...  but due to the deaths in the Christchurch quake, I've been remiss to tell it anymore.

No drama whatsoever. So far, the "Axis 2.0" has been working like a clockwork and we're enjoyably exhausted and happy.
We even lost weight over the Xmas holidays - an absolute first! "Eustress" at its best. LOL

Hy Iwan, you can't have everything :D

For sentimental reasons I will show you that one, found close to my old hood in Berlin. Having no Mig's at all on my tiny island in fact there are only ATR-72 island hopper and a helicopter for those who don't respect the strength of the ocean.

Cheers Rob

Mmmmmh... Warm, buttered whole wheat toast with Vegemite and a poached egg on top with a splash of MAGGI seasoning sauce. I love it!

MAGGI seasoning is extremely popular among (native) Saarlanders, by the way. We put it on almost everything. Be it dead or alive.

You sure we're not cousins?  My mother grew up in Saarbrucken, I was born in Landstuhl, and I have relatives that live in the middle of Spiesen-Elversburg.  Family name Schumann.

I had never realised that liking Vegemite was a condition to settle down under :o

I hate the stuff, yet ate a half sandwich of it at my citizenship ceremony.  While I was on the point of hurling up my innards, my Australian family was enjoying the show.

 

But I didn't have to eat it.
